Current song lyrics
Get a load of that guy<br />With the dew rag on<br />And the cowboy tie<br />Man that cat is gone<br /><br />Form memphis to nashville<br />Then way out west<br />Put that hollywood party<br />To the acid test<br /><br />Got a little bungalow<br />In the valley somewhere<br />Took a gig playing bass<br />With sonny and cher<br />He took it on his chin<br />And never got it off his chest<br />He wouldn?t be caught dead wearing that vest<br /><br />Not rock back billy<br />Rock back billy<br /><br />He came to make a stew<br />With that swamp guitar<br />He kept it lonesome and blue<br />Yeah, in the trunk of his car<br /><br />But no one gave him a long shot<br />Though he never did doubt<br />What it was not<br />Or what it was all about<br /><br />He got all tangled up with liquor and drugs<br />Trying to make a racket<br />Like those english mugs<br /><br />Till he couldn?t get arrested<br />And he couldn?t see straight<br />He couldn?t even shine shoes<br />In that golden state<br /><br />Not rock back billy<br />Come on rock back billy<br /><br />When you see him on the street<br />Well, he?s no spring chicken<br />But ask him how he makes ends meet<br />He?ll tell you, "i?m still pickin?"<br /><br />Aw, rock it, billy, rock it<br /><br />Yeah they counted him down<br />When they dropped that beat<br />But that red hot sound<br />They could not defeat<br /><br />It started coming back from boston<br />From east l.a.<br />Down in austin, texas<br />And up new york way<br /><br />And as long as there?s a kid<br />In a room somewhere<br />With a beat up guitar<br />And some funny looking hair<br />Well, it might be billy?s kid<br />You don?t know<br />And all I?ve got to say is<br />Go, cat, go<br /><br />Come on rock back billy<br />Come on rock back billy<br />Rock back billy
